La Méditerranée orientale se caractérise par des contrastes thermiques entre ses rives est et ouest. En particulier, l’analyse comparée des fortes chaleurs entre le littoral levantin et celui de la Tunisie orientale met en évidence une exposition plus élevée de ce dernier en termes de fréquence et d’intensité. La circulation atmosphérique régionale et les facteurs locaux, en particulier ceux du relief, justifient ces contrastes.

The main goal of the present study is to identify the prevailing atmospheric circulation patterns (circulation types) that are associated with the occurrence of precipitation (both mean and extreme) over southern Romania. A daily circulation type calendar derived from an automatic and objective classification scheme is used in synergy with the daily precipitation time series from five weather stations in the study area for a sixty-year period (1961–2020). Both mean and extreme precipitation do not show statistically significant trends, except for the annual precipitation at Constanța, for the value with daily precipitation totals greater than the 95th percentile at Craiova and the number of days exceeding the 99th percentile at Buzău and Râmnicu -Vâlcea, where significant negative trends were noticed. Moreover, the precipitation trends were analyzed in relation to the atmospheric circulation types. Non-significant positive trends were observed for the precipitation amounts (annually, winter, spring, and autumn) corresponding to very rainy circulation types (C, Cwsw), while for summer, the equivalent trends were negative. Moreover, it became evident that during extreme precipitation events, the predominant circulation types (C, Cwsw) are associated with western or almost western atmospheric circulation and Mediterranean- or Atlantic-originated depressions.

The primary aim of this study is to examine the characteristics of atmospheric circulation patterns at various geopotential levels and their relationship with precipitation in southern Romania during the period from 1961 to 2020. Daily geopotential heights (1000 hPa, 850 hPa, 700 hPa and 500 hPa) were utilized in an automatic updated atmospheric circulation scheme for the creation of daily calendars of 12 circulation types (5 anticyclonic and 7 cyclonic) as well as daily time series derived from five stations over the domain of interest. To assess the influence of the atmospheric circulation on precipitation, correlations and time trends were explored between the rainfall totals and the different circulation types. The findings reveal a rising trend in anticyclonic circulation types across the region, while cyclonic types exhibit a consisted decrease. Precipitation and number of rain days percentages associated with specific cyclonic types depend on the geopotential levels, while annual and seasonal precipitation linked to cyclonic types decreases progressively from higher to lower levels. The strongest correlations in circulation type frequencies are observed between adjacent circulation types. Taylor diagram analysis indicates that the relationships between circulation types and precipitation vary both seasonally and across different atmospheric levels. Notably, the two rainiest circulation types are more accurately simulated at higher atmospheric levels (700 hPa and 500 hPa).

La variabilité des précipitations représente une grande contrainte naturelle au Proche-Orient et particulièrement dans les régions steppiques, domaine de culture pluviale. L’importance de cette variabilité est mise en évidence, dans la steppe syrienne, à partir d’une étude comparative entre deux années pluviométriques successives : 19881 (année exceptionnellement arrosée) et 1989 (année sèche). Les données pluviométriques quotidiennes de deux stations d’Alep et de Palmyre, et mensuelles de Salamya, ont servi de base pour cette étude. L’année 1988 est caractérisée par un total pluviométrique exceptionnellement élevé, associé à une bonne répartition des pluies sur les mois de la saison pluvieuse, elle-même caractérisée par un démarrage précoce et une fin tardive. Au contraire, l’année 1989 représente le type des « mauvaises » années, avec un démarrage tardif de la pluie et une fin précoce, et un total annuel faible. Les anomalies négatives du géopotentiel 500hPa, qui caractérisent la saison pluvieuse de l’année 1988, sont positives lors de l’année 1989. Le « mythe » de l’année 1988 se révèle donc bien correspondre à une réalité.
